Bonita Springs, FL, October 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Community College Baccalaureate Association (CCBA) is announcing its 7th Annual Student Essay Contest. The CCBA’s website, located online at accbd.org, has been updated to include the 2010 essay topic, new contest rules, and entry information. This year, the CCBA is encouraging early entries.
The winner of the essay contest will receive $1,000 and an all expense paid trip to the Tenth Annual Community College Baccalaureate Association Conference in Baltimore, Maryland from March 26-28, 2010. $1,000 will also be awarded to the Student Government Association of the winner’s college.

The essay topic for 2010 is “Why obtaining a four year degree on my community college campus would be important to me.” Students who enter the contest should explore the issues of baccalaureate degrees on community college campuses in their essays.
